Ditto here.
In my case, I bought a 5.1 inch Celestron Astromaster newtonian(parabolic mirror) for next to nothing.
After collimating it, first light on planets was pretty dissapointing. The optics proved to be of low quality and were only good for low power wide field views...........just!

For what it cost new it's not going to get anyone serious in getting in to Astronomy excited..........quite the reverse.
